ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) - A northern Virginia businessman has been sentenced to more than two years in prison for illegally funneling nearly $200,000 to Hillary Clinton's political campaigns in 2006 and 2008.

Fifty-one-year-old William Danielczyk (DANN'-yuhl-chek) of Oakton pleaded guilty in February to violating campaign-finance laws by reimbursing employees of his company, Galen Capital, for contributions they made to Clinton's Senate and presidential campaigns. There are no allegations Clinton or her campaign acted improperly.

At a sentencing hearing Friday, prosecutors sought the five-year maximum. Danielczyk's lawyers argued that similar violations have received probation.

A co-defendant, 78-year-old Eugene Biagi, who is a former Galen executive, was sentenced to probation on Friday.

The scheme was first exposed more than five years ago by The Wall Street Journal.

PETERSBURG, Va. (AP) - A Virginia State University student leader who was convicted of hazing has succeeded in having the charge set aside.

Student body president Brandon Randleman claimed he only entered the plea because he was threatened that he wouldn't graduate if he refused.

Media outlets reported Thursday that prosecutors agreed May 23 to drop the charge against Randleman, who graduated earlier this month.

In April, Randleman and three other Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity members entered pleas in which they didn't admit guilt but acknowledged there was enough evidence to convict them. In exchange, prosecutors agreed to drop the charges in May if they stayed out of trouble.

Weeks later, Randleman hired an attorney and asked that his conviction be tossed, claiming that he was pressured into pleading.

The FBI has said Special Agents Christopher W. Lorek of Richmond and Stephen P. Shaw of Stafford, fell to their deaths on May 17 when a helicopter ran into trouble during a "maritime counterterrorism exercise."

Both were members of the bureau's elite hostage rescue team. The team is trained in military tactics and outfitted with combat-style gear and weapons.

WASHINGTON (AP) - A Virginia congressman wants an Army officer to be the person in charge of Arlington National Cemetery.

Republican Rob Wittman announced Tuesday that he has introduced legislation that would require placement of a commissioned officer in charge of Army National Cemeteries, which has Arlington National Cemetery as its centerpiece.

While the Army operates the cemetery, it has had civilians in charge there. Outgoing director Kathryn Condon has been credited with fixing mismanagement that led to scandals at the cemetery including reports of misplaced remains.

Wittman, who has conducted oversight hearings on cemetery operations, says it makes sense in the future that the person in charge of Arlington should be subject to military discipline.

The Republican candidate for governor formed the panel in March to determine whether the procedure for restoring felons' rights can be revised without amending the Virginia Constitution. Legislative proposals to automatically restore nonviolent felons' rights have failed repeatedly, most recently in the 2013 legislature. Those efforts have focused on amending the constitution, which says felons cannot vote unless their civil rights have been restored by the governor "or other appropriate authority."

The committee says the legislature could designate an executive branch agency to do all the legwork and lead an outreach effort. The governor would retain the final say.

School of Education dean Christine S. Walther-Thomas says the program now has one full-time faculty member. Two professors retired and another resigned.

Walther-Thomas tells the Richmond Times-Dispatch that the school is trying to determine whether to put resources into the program amid state budget cuts. A decision is expected in July.

VCU spokeswoman Anne Buckley says 54 students were enrolled in the program as of the spring semester, including 16 in its teacher-education phase. Three students graduated this month.

If the program is dropped, Buckley says students already admitted in it will graduate. She says the School of Education will ensure that they receive the coursework, faculty support and field supervision needed to complete the program.

ROANOKE, Va. (AP) - A Virginia landmark and tourism attraction once owned by Thomas Jefferson is up for sale.

The privately owned Natural Bridge in Rockbridge County is being put on the market, along with Natural Bridge Caverns and a 150-room hotel.

Roanoke-based Woltz & Associates is marketing the tourist attraction.

Woltz & Associates owner and president Jim Woltz tells The Roanoke Times (http://bit.ly/Z2ioIT ) that the 1,600-acre property will be divided and listed by tracts. Potential buyers could purchase only the 215-foot-high limestone arch, or every tract.

The property's primary owner is Washington, D.C., businessman Angelo Puglisi. Woltz says Puglisi wants the bridge to remain open to the public.

Woltz would like to see the bridge become a national or state park. He plans to contact federal and state officials about purchasing it.

BETHESDA, Md. (AP) - A parking garage has partially collapsed outside a shopping mall in suburban Maryland, and officials say one construction worker who was trapped has died.

Montgomery County rescuers worked to stabilize the structure to free a second worker for more than four hours on Thursday. Officials say it appears a 50,000-pound section of the parking deck collapsed outside a Macy's store.

Fire Department spokeswoman Beth Anne Nesselt says one man died. The second worker, who was freed about 6 p.m., has serious injuries.

Assistant Fire Chief Scott Graham says rescuers confirmed there were no other people inside the structure.

The parking deck was under construction during the collapse and was not open to the public.

Video from the scene showed a large concrete slab appears to have fallen out of place.

Warner has introduced similar legislation the past two years. Sales of leases off the Virginia coast were scheduled to begin in 2011 but were delayed until 2017 after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010.

The Sierra Club of Virginia opposes the legislation. In a statement, the club offshore drilling would risk more than 100,000 jobs in industries that depend on a healthy ocean and Chesapeake Bay and clean beaches.

NORFOLK, Va. (AP) - The Virginia medical examiner's office says it will likely be weeks before the cause of death is determined for two FBI agents who died during a training exercise off the coast of Virginia Beach.

Special Agents Christopher Lorek and Stephen Shaw were members of the FBI's elite Hostage Rescue Team, which is federal law enforcement's only full-time counterterrorism unit.

The FBI has declined to specify what kind of training they were participating in before their deaths on Friday. Among other things, the team is trained how to fast-rope out of helicopters, SCUBA dive and conduct close-quarter battle.

Glenn McBride, a spokesman for the state medical examiner's office in Norfolk, said Monday the office is waiting for toxicology results to come back before making a determination on the cause of death.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Gov. Bob McDonnell is launching an ambitious campaign to match more than 1,000 children in foster care with 1,000 adoptive parents.

The "Virginia Adopts: Campaign for 1,000" will get its official start Friday at the Executive Mansion in Richmond.

In advance of the event, Equality Virginia and the Family Equality Council are calling on McDonnell to open adoption to all qualified parents. A Virginia law allows private adoption agencies to discriminate based on sexual orientation.

Equality Virginia says the state has more than 4,000 children in the foster care system.

The ticket is one of more 64,000 sold in Virginia that won a prize in Wednesday night's drawing. The prize-winning tickets range from $4 to $1 million. They include two $10,000 tickets that were sold in Alexandria and Manassas.

No one won the jackpot, which is now an estimated $475 million for Saturday night's drawing. Lottery officials said Thursday that more than 4.7 million Powerball tickets are expected to be sold in Virginia on Saturday.

The $1 million winner hasn't yet claimed the prize.

In February, a Fredericksburg couple claimed a $217 million Powerball jackpot.

The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services said Wednesday that the state's farmers produce 696 million eggs a year. That's also enough to make 232 million three-egg omelets or 87 million pound cakes.

Each laying bird produces 280 to 320 eggs a year.

The department says cash receipts from eggs totaled $89 million in 2012. That makes eggs the 10th highest agricultural commodity in Virginia.

BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) - Virginia Tech is being recognized for its efforts to encourage students, staff and visitors to ride bicycles.

The League of American Bicyclists has designated Virginia Tech as a bicycle friendly university. Virginia Tech received the league's bronze award, the third-highest designation.

The school is one of 58 colleges and universities in the nation to receive the designation.

Virginia Tech announced the designation Monday in a news release. The school says it has invested in nine miles of shared paths, three miles of bike lanes and several covered bicycle racks. Additional bicycle racks are planned, along with more bicycle repair services.

Also, the school and the Town of Blacksburg are building a connector to link the existing Huckleberry Trail with the Foxridge Trails.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Washington National Cathedral and George Washington's Mount Vernon estate have both won $100,000 grants among 24 sites around the nation's capital competing for historic preservation funds.

The earthquake-damaged National Cathedral won the most votes from the public over the past three weeks, earning nearly 1.4 million points in the Partners in Preservation program.

The National Trust for Historic Preservation and American Express announced the winners Monday, awarding $1 million in preservation funds to sites in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia.

The cathedral will use the funds to repair its nave vaulting, which has been draped with netting to catch falling debris since the earthquake. Mount Vernon won $100,000 to paint, plaster and restore Washington's dining room.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Virginia Commonwealth University students will pay more for tuition and mandatory fees starting in the fall.

Returning students will continue to pay under a block pricing structure under the plan approved Friday by the Board of Visitors. New students will pay on a per-credit hour basis, with credits at 15 hours or more reduced to half price.

The increases are 4.19 percent for in-state undergraduate students and 3.98 percent for out-of-state undergraduates. The typical bill for returning students will be $10,299 for Virginians and $24,863 for out-of-state students.

For new students taking 30 credit hours per year, the cost will be $12,002 for Virginians and $24,473 for out-of-state residents.

Costs will be higher for students living in student housing with a meal plan.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling says he will not attend the state party convention where Republicans will pick their candidates for this fall's elections.

The Washington Post reported Wednesday (http://wapo.st/10qghMk) that Bolling would skip the convention in protest to the process that marked the end of his dream to become governor. Bolling dropped out of the governor's race after Republicans decided to pick their nominee in a convention rather than a primary, certain that such a process would favor his opponent, Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli.

In a statement issued Wednesday, Bolling spokeswoman Ibbie Hedrick says he didn't support changing the nomination method and that it disenfranchises many in the party.

Conventions is expected to be named the party's candidate at the convention, which will be held in Richmond next weekend.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Taxicabs in the District of Columbia will be required to accept credit and debit cards by the end of August.

The D.C. Taxicab Commission approved the requirement on Wednesday. It's part of a broad package of reforms to the taxi industry that city government leaders have been pushing.

The implementation of the credit-card requirement has been beset by a series of delays. But the commission says the rules requiring installation of the credit-card readers will take effect on May 31. Drivers will then have three months to comply.

Fares will increase slightly to offset the cost to drivers of installing the new equipment.

He said in his first policy news conference at a Richmond yogurt store on Tuesday that he'd offset the individual and business income tax cuts by eliminating a broad range of exemptions and other incentives.

Cuccinelli also said he wouldn't repeal the first transportation funding reform law in 27 years passed this year, even though he consistently opposed it and almost derailed it with a legal opinion in February.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Tourism officials say Washington saw an increase of about 1 million visitors last year, counting a record 18.9 million tourists visiting the nation's capital.

Statistics released Tuesday by the tourism bureau Destination D.C. show a 5.5 percent increase in total visitors. A study found domestic visitation grew by 4.2 percent from 2011 to reach 16.8 million U.S. visitors.

There was also an increase in international visitors. Officials estimate Washington had 2.1 million international tourists in 2012.

Destination D.C. CEO Elliott Ferguson says tourism officials are encouraged by the growth. He says it translates into a stronger local economy and job market.

Figures show visitor spending increased to an estimated $6.2 billion in 2012. Destination D.C. says more than half of the city's sales tax revenue is generated by visitor spending.

SUFFOLK, Va. (AP) - Two Suffolk second graders have been suspended for making shooting noises while pointing pencils at each another.

Media outlets report the boys were suspended for two days for a violation of the Suffolk school system's zero-tolerance policy on weapons. They were playing with one another in class Friday at Driver Elementary.

One of the boys' fathers says he believes school officials overreacted.

But Suffolk Public Schools spokeswoman Bethanne Bradshaw says a pencil is considered a weapon when it's pointed at someone in a threatening way and gun noises are made.

Bradshaw says some children would consider the incident threatening.

She says the policy has been in place for at least two decades. It also bans drawing a picture of a gun and pointing a finger in a threatening manner.

ACCOMAC, Va. (AP) - A judge has denied bond for a woman suspected of setting a string of arsons on the Eastern Shore.

Tonya Bundick had appealed a judge's decision to deny her bond after her arrest last month. She appealed, but media outlets report she was denied again on Monday in Accomack County Circuit Court.

Police suspect the 40-year-old Bundick and her boyfriend, 38-year-old Charles R. Smith III, are responsible for most of the 77 arsons on the Eastern Shore since last fall. Both are charged with setting one fire, but more charges are expected.

Court documents show Smith told authorities that he set 52 unoccupied buildings on fire and that Bundick torched another 15.

Bundick and Smith are both being held without bond in the Accomack County Jail.

McDonald says the cabinet's members will be teachers from across Virginia. They will make both long-term and short-term recommendations on ways to enhance teacher leadership, quality and professionalism.

The cabinet's responsibilities include identifying additional resources, learning tools and professional development opportunities that could be made available to local school divisions.

McDonnell encouraged full-time teachers to apply to serve on the cabinet.

WASHINGTON (AP) - District of Columbia Mayor Vincent Gray wants people living in the country illegally to be able to get driver's licenses in the nation's capital.

The mayor's office says Gray and other city leaders will introduce a bill on Thursday. It would allow district residents to get a license or a city identification card regardless of their citizenship or immigration status.

As with all legislation in the district, it would only become law after a period of review by Congress.

Four states allow people who don't have legal permission to live in the United States to obtain driver's licenses: Illinois, Maryland, New Mexico and Washington state. Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber plans to sign a bill Wednesday that would make his state the fifth. Colorado is also considering it.
